Chapter 278 Plea (1/2)
Hearing the voices, there seemed to be another man's voice outside and the two ladies guessed that it should be Sunny's father.
Thinking about that, Feng Jiu lowered her eyes, and it was not known what she was thinking about.
Until, a knock accompanied by a soft call sounded at the door.
”Young Master.”
Hearing the voice, Leng Shuang s.h.i.+fted herself warily a few steps forward, to stand guard before Feng Jiu.
”What is it?” Feng Jiu said as she gestured for Leng Shuang to back away.
”Will the Young Master open the door please, and allow this humble woman to come in to speak.”
Hearing that, she gestured for Leng Shuang to go open the door. Leng Shuang hesitated a moment before she went forward to pull the door open. When she saw the woman outside the door, the palms of her hands went cold.
The woman wasn't human, but was a ghost! Thinking about that, she gulped and then stepped back a step.
She was not afraid of humans, but as for ghosts…..
Feng Jiu turned her eyes to look up, and saw the pale faced woman carrying the soundly sleeping Sunny as she walked in, to fall to her knees right before her.
”Young Master.”
”What do you mean by doing this?” Feng Jiu asked as her eyebrow raised, looking at the woman's tear streaked face.
”That old Taoist priest is back. He claims to want to exorcise us but in actual fact, he is aiming for our Little Sunny here. Our Little Sunny is born blessed with a Spirit Pearl but the Spirit Pearl cannot be extracted. The old priest then wanted to have Little Sunny refined into a human elixir and ingested to advance his cultivation. We are really left with no other choice but to come beg Young Master.”
She sobbed softly and continued to say: ”I know that Young Master is no ordinary person and would have seen that we are spirits and not human. But though we are ghosts, we have never harmed any humans. We remained here only because of this child and our entire family of ninety nine is now left with just Sunny, a little child. Young Master, Young Master! I beg you! I beg for you to help us!”
